The Talmud on usury
Benedikt Koehler
Economic Affairs, 2023, vol. 43, issue 3, 423-435
Abstract:
A ban on usury was endorsed by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Usury was banned in the Books of Moses, but defined in the Babylonian Talmud as a ‘reward for waiting’. Conceptions of usury in early Christianity and Islam accorded with that of the Talmud. A misrepresentation of the Talmudic conception of usury by Jacob Neusner was refuted by Emil Cohn.
